Early Life
Ulli was the fifth of six children born to Wilhelm Heinrich Kampelmann and Elsa (née Pilz) in Halle (Saale), Sachsen Anhalt, East Germany.
Ulli appeared drawn to the arts from an early age. She displayed an interest in painting, and singing as she matured. When Ulli was eleven, her mother taught her how to make jewelry. Delighted with the beauty of all forms of jewelry, she made and sold bracelets and necklaces to her friends, family and teachers; earning her first income.
At the university in Halle, she mastered in art instruction. Not long after receiving her Master's degree she successfully escaped to West Berlin in the trunk of a friend’s car.
In Münster she studied sculpture and design and then opened her first studio in Stuttgart.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
